Dear Mr. Sully
I do not know if you remember me, but I am an old friend of Michaela. I was certainly surprised to see her on my doorstep a few days ago. She never told me why she came, but I was glad to have her hear. I couldn't write to ask why she came, but I need you to come to San Francisco. Unfortunately Michaela got sick this morning. The doctor says it is nothing serious but that she cannot travel home by herself. I would of course love to accompany her, but I am unable to do so at this time. Please let me know if you can make this trip. I think that she needs to return home soon. Miriam Tilison
As soon as Matthew got word to Sully, who was in St. Louis at the time, Sully caught the very next train to San Francisco. When he arrived at Miriam's house, he found out that Michaela had an infection. THe doctor said it was most likely from the miscarriage. With medicine, she would be find. He wanted someone to travel with her in case she has a reaction to the medicine.
Sully went to Michaela's room. He knocked softly on the door. "Come in." she called throught eh still closed door. When she saw that Sully was there she became upset. She told him to leave. The turned away and pretened to be asleep. Sully didn't want her upset, so he left. But first he left a letter on the nightstand. "I love you Michaela." he whispered before he closed the door.
Michaela sat up once he left. She was upset that he had come, but also angry that miriam had told him she was there. Then she noticed Sully's letter. It said:
My Sweet Michaela,
hard times have fallen on you. Even what I see you smile, I see the hurt come through. And I know it feels like its never gonna end. I've been there Michaela, I know what it feels liek to lose a child. I'm going through the same thing you are, even if you don't realize it. I see the tears in your eyes as you read my letters. Tears of doubt flow down your face. you doubt yourself and you doubt me. But there is nothing to doubt. I only hope that after reading this you will realize how strong my love is.
I apologize if I never told you what you are in my eyes. So let me tell you now. Every day looked sweeter knowing you'd be there beside me. How can you say thats not enough. Everything my hear desire is in you. Morning sun and midnight fires. Someone there to share my dreams. With you, I had everything. I f I could re win your heart, If you'd let me back in your heart I'd be so happy. Just for you to be back in my arms. There's nothing in this world I won't try no limit to what I'd do to make you mine again.
i'd climb right up to the sky. I'd take down the strs just to have you in my arms. I'd go an dcapture the moon just to hear you sat that you love me. Better days are commin around. I know you felt like the whole world's gone andlet you down. Better days are commin. I know they will because I'll be right there makin sure they do.
And if your sky aint lookin the fairest, there aint no reason to be embarrassed. Ain't nobody in the world ain't felt the rain from time to time. Just when you think its all over and done, the nights get easier, one by one. Give me a chance, and I show you taht nothing has changed.I know what its liek to have to face the fight, but I won't let you stand alone. Wipe those tears of doubt away. Believe my words and come back to me. I will love you with all my heart until the end of time. Love Sully
Michaela read htis letter, and ll her uncertainty disappeared. She didn't know why this one letter reached her and the first one didn't, but something inside changed as she read Sully's words. Maybe it was the time that they had already spent apart. She finally felt his love again and returned it wholeheartedly. She felt horrible for feeling the way she did. She wrote Sully back, knowing she could nver say what she felt to his face. She couldn't even write without crying. If she tried to talk, the words wouldn't be able to break through the tears. She wrote:
Dear Sully,
I dont know where to start. Im so sorry for what I have done these last few weeks. I was not right in my mind. I couldn't see past my own delusional thoughts. I hope this explains how I feel and that you can forgive me.When the world was cold and I needed a friend to hold, you gave me love. And whne my hope was gone, and I felt I couldn't go on, you gave me love.
I know now that your love for me will never die, and me love for you is stronger than ever. In fact not a single minute passes without you in it. Your voice, your touch, memories of your love are with me all the time. I was just too lost to see them. You are still in my heart, still the second half to my sould. But Im scared.
Where do we go from here? This isn't where we intended to be. We had it all you believed in me, I believed in you. Certainty disappeared. What do we do for our dreams to survive? How do we keep all our passions alive, as we used to do? Deep in my heart, Im concealing things that I'm longing to say. Scared to confess what I'm feeling. Frightened you'll slip away. You must love me.I believe that I can come home, but it will take alot of work. I still can't forgive myself. I love you and hope that your love will continue to heal me. Please forgive me. I love you, Michaela
Sully read her letter and wept. It broke his heart to see his wife so hurt. He immediatel went to her room to take her home. When Michaela opened the door and saw Sully there she fell into hiis embrace. "I'm so sorry Sully... I'm sorry I doubted you.. Im sorry I left...Im sorry I...lost our baby. Please forgive me."
Sully continued to hold her as she wept. "There's nothin to forgive Michaela. You were hurt and your mind was playin tricks on ya. Ya just had ta realixe that it was the apin making ya think like that. I know you didn't mean it."
"It's still my fault..our baby is...gone." She cried.
"No it ain't," he reassured her. "Cloud Dancing told me that when a child dies, it's because its sould ain't ready to be on earth. We gotta believe that our babies will be with us when they're ready."
"I don't think I could go through this again Sully. I don't know if I want to try for another child. I don't want another heartbreak. I don't need another turn to cry."
"Then we wont," he said. "i told ya once that if we don't have any children, I'd still love ya. We got a beautiful little girl together, plus Matthew, Colleen and Brian. I've got more than I could ever ask for. You've got ta believe that not having another baby doesn't change anything."
Standing in Sully's arms, Michaela realized that everything would be ok. As long as she had him, her life was complete. He carried her to the bed and they lay there together. He held her close and she played with the hair on his chest. They talked for hours about thier love. Both knew that nothing could break them apart. They talked about every part of their relationship, starting with when they first met. They recalled the trip to Boston, and the wedding. Michaela began to weep when they recalled Katie's birth. But her tears were not longer tears of doubt. They were joyful tears, tears of love. A love greater than any force on Earth
THE END
